At Alden Hosting we eat and breathe Java! We are the industry leader in providing
affordable, quality and efficient Java web hosting in the shared hosting marketplace.
All our sites run on our Java hosing platform configured for
optimum performance using Java 1.6, Tomcat 6, MySQL 5, Apache 2.2 and web
application frameworks such as Struts, Hibernate, Cocoon, Ant, etc.

We offer only one type of Java hosting - Private Tomcat. Hosting accounts on the Private
Tomcat environment get their very own Tomcat server. You can start and re-start
your entire Tomcat server yourself.

The Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) system allows an object running
in one Java virtual machine to invoke methods on an object running
in another Java virtual machine. RMI provides for remote communication between
programs written in the Java programming language.

Note: If you are connecting to an existing IDL program,
you should use Java IDL rather than RMI.

This trail provides a brief overview of the RMI system and then walks
through a complete client/server example that uses RMI's unique
capabilities to load and to execute user-defined tasks at runtime. The
server in the example implements a generic compute engine, which the
client uses to compute the value of
.

An Overview of RMI Applications
describes the RMI system and lists its advantages. Additionally, this
section provides a description of a typical RMI application, composed of
a server and a client, and introduces important terms.

Writing an RMI Server
walks through the code for the compute engine server. This section will
teach you how to design and to implement an RMI server.

Creating A Client Program
takes a look at one possible compute engine client and uses it to
illustrate the important features of an RMI client.
